From the article: "If you are the proud owner of a brand new iPhone 6, you may want to make sure it’s well protected. Priced at around $749 for the 16GB model, the iPhone 6 is not a cheap piece of hardware. The tech junkies over at UBreakIFix have run a cringe-worthy drop test on the new iPhone 6 compared to older iPhone models and found out that the new iPhone 6 is not only more fragile than its predecessors, but it also bends and torques like a piece of rubber when it hits the floor."
Apple has officially commented on why its older devices may not perform as expected.
Sometimes Apple loses sight of what they think consumers want versus what we really want.
I was on the fence about the Iphone8 or the new Samsung but that new Galaxy is looking damn good right now... peace apple!
This is more Apple BS. When Apple launches a phone, they try to get as much sales as possible, even at the expense of their own customer base. A new iphone is released and suddenly your phone starts working like crap, obviously it makes the new iphone more appealing. They've been doing this since the original iphone. Funny how this isn't a problem for any other phone manufacturer.
Several Chinese iPhone users have claimed that their handsets caught fire or exploded, according to a Shanghai consumer watchdog which called on tech giant Apple to address the complaints.
iPhone 6 and 6 Plus owners worldwide are being plagued by “Touch Disease” — a display issue that causes a flickering gray bar to appear at the top of their screen.
But but but...its teh iPhone 6!
this is not as bad as the iphone6 bending in your pocket lol
*gasp* Thinner phone is weaker phone! In other news, water is wet and fire is hot.
Makes sense instead of having a flat edge that could spread the impact its has a curved (pointed) edge so more impact to a specific point. Plus the fact its thinner just doesn't make it a good thing.
They need to stop with this "thinner is better" thinking. I would prefer the same thickness on an iphone 5 if it meant a much more powerful battery.
